Summarizing:
- Stephen Elop, the former chief executive of Nokia who has been leading Microsoft’s devices group
- Eric Rudder, the leader of its advanced technology and education efforts
- Kirill Tatarinov, the head of its business solutions group
- Mark Penn, Microsoft’s chief strategy officer
Sounds fairly significant to me.

Mr. Nadella said that Mr. Penn, Microsoft’s chief strategy officer, informed him several months ago that he planned to leave Microsoft in September to form a private equity fund, among other pursuits. While Mr. Penn has worked for Microsoft for a number of years, he is best known as a former campaign strategist for Hillary and Bill Clinton.Good riddance.

Nokia? Didn’t they go from #1 to done in about 5 years?

So sad to see them on the street and homeless. Oh, never mind.

They need to fire the idiot who made the latest version of MS Office products look just like Google docs and sheets.

Most of those people were those who worked under Steve Ballmer. Nadella in many ways wants a “fresh start” for Microsoft and putting in new people is important to changing the Microsoft culture.

I know Rudder. He’s a nice guy. I wonder what really happened...
Once he got into with Balmer, and they said you could hear the screaming even in the hallways, and Balmer’s office door was extra thick.
IMHO, anyone who got a change to yell at Balmer was a hero!

Satya Nadella will replace them with H1B visa people.
That is how he started right?
